Seol Suham could not imdiately accept this situation.
Why was Cheon Myeong, not Jong Seojun, going to diagnose the Young Palace Lord?
Although it was clearly sothing that didn't make sense, since Cheon Myeong was looking at this side with a confident face, Seol Suham's mind was now very confused.
'How can that child cure the Young Palace Lord's White Disease?'
Daeyeoksan had certainly said that to her earlier.
Moreover, there was Jong Seojun, who was just standing still as if he would entrust everything, and Cheon Myeong, who was telling her to show him the patient with a confident face.
Seol Suham tried to maintain her composure and asked Cheon Myeong.
"...Are you going to treat the Young Palace Lord now?"
"Yes, I am."
"How are you going to treat the Young Palace Lord when you are not even a physician?"
"I heard that the reason the Young Palace Lord has collapsed is because of the White Disease."
Did he say he would treat it with confidence even knowing that?
It's really amazing.
Since no physician in the North Sea had been able to speak with such confidence in front of the White Disease, regardless of the truth of those words, Seol Suham had that thought first.
"If it's , I can cure the White Disease."
"...!"
A change occurred on Seol Suham's face again.
However, her two eyes soon sank deeply again.
Seol Suham was now contemplating how she should take Cheon Myeong's words.
"Palace Lord."
At that mont, Jong Seojun stepped forward and called Seol Suham.
At that voice, Seol Suham's gaze turned to Jong Seojun, and Jong Seojun politely put his hands together and opened his mouth.
"There was a disease that I could not treat in the past."
"..."
"It is a disease called the Blood Death Disease."
"The Blood Death Disease..."
Seol Suham also knew quite a bit about that disease.
Like the White Disease, wasn't it one of the rare diseases that had no proper cure until now?
Of course, since the Blood Sand Disease could be completely cured conditionally, it could be said that the situation was better than the White Disease, but it would not be an exaggeration to call that an incurable disease as well.
'Why is he telling that?'
There would be no connection between the Blood Sand Disease and the White Disease.
If there were, she would have already known.
Seol Suham thought so in her mind and looked at Jong Seojun with a puzzled face without a word.
"For , I couldn't find a proper cure, so I had no choice but to leave it alone. But there is a person who has cured that Blood Sand Disease."
"...?"
"It is Young Master Cheon Myeong."
The Blood Sand Disease... Cheon Myeong cured it?
From his tone, it seed as if Cheon Myeong had completely cured a patient whose disease had already progressed.
'That's absurd!'
In order to cure the White Disease, Seol Suham had also looked into various rare diseases.
She had looked into it with the thought that she might be able to find a clue to the cure for the White Disease from other rare diseases.
Of course, even though she had done that, she had not been able to find any clues.
And wouldn't that be the case? To think that she had tried to find a clue from a disease with different symptoms just because it was rare.
Anyway, at that ti, Seol Suham had also investigated the Blood Sand Disease in detail. So she already knew the fact that no one had been able to cure the Blood Sand Disease when the disease had progressed.
"How could that be... isn't the Blood Sand Disease incurable once the symptoms appear?"
"I also thought so."
"..."
"So even though my child had the Blood Sand Disease, I could only watch."
Hearing those words, Seol Suham seed slightly surprised.
To think that Jong Seojun was now talking about his own child.
Since the Young Palace Lord who currently had the White Disease was also her child, Seol Suham was feeling a sense of sympathy for Jong Seojun, as if they were in the sa boat.
But for a mont, Seol Suham rembered what Jong Seojun had said earlier.
"The child... what happened to the child?"
Jong Seojun had definitely said that Cheon Myeong had cured the Blood Sand Disease.
If so, could it be that the patient Cheon Myeong had cured was...
"He is completely cured now."
"..."
"He can now run around and play outside like other children of his age."
Jong Seojun said with a light smile.
As if she had a lot on her mind, Seol Suham slightly bowed her head and maintained her silence for a while, and soon, she raised her head towards Cheon Myeong.
'Did that child cure Jong Seojun's child?'
And it wasn't that he had cured a disease like a cold.
He had cured the Blood Sand Disease, which no physician in this world, not even Jong Seojun, who was called the 'Curing Hand, Leaving Words', could cure.
"..."
Jong Seojun would not have said sothing he didn't have.
Moreover, he would not have lied, bringing up his own child.
Seol Suham had no choice but to think that Cheon Myeong had really cured the Blood Sand Disease.
*Swish-*
Seol Suham's gaze, which was now looking at Cheon Myeong, had changed a lot from before.
And for good reason, when judging a person for the first ti, the difference between having experience and not having it was bound to be very large.
Moreover, to think that he had a track record of curing the Blood Sand Disease.
Now, the expectation that Cheon Myeong might really be able to cure the White Disease began to arise in Seol Suham's heart.
"...Is it possible?"
Seol Suham asked Cheon Myeong.
Then, Cheon Myeong clenched his fist salute again.
He did not bow his head.
"I will use all my strength to cure her."
"..."
"The Young Palace Lord... no, my cousin."
"...!"
To think that Cheon Myeong would call the Young Palace Lord that.
In a way, it might seem as if only the title had changed.
However, that one word from Cheon Myeong moved Seol Suham's heart.
"I ask of you... my wise nephew."
Wise nephew.
Seol Suham said, looking at Cheon Myeong, who was holding a fist salute.
***
Cheon Myeong looked down at the woman lying in the bed.
The beauty of the woman, who was showing off her beautiful figure like a flower blooming on the snow.
Her hair, which had turned pure white due to the White Disease, paradoxically made her beauty even more mysterious.
'Is this woman Seol Beakmyo?'
The Young Palace Lord of the Ice Palace, and for Cheon Myeong, his cousin.
Although it was the first ti Cheon Myeong had seen Seol Beakmyo, for so reason, that appearance did not feel unfamiliar now.
Especially the sight of her lying in bed like this was a very familiar mory for Cheon Myeong.
"..."
So would say that Seol Beakmyo's appearance was beautiful.
Cheon Myeong also did not particularly deny that fact. However, at the sa ti, he also thought that that beauty was very precarious, as if it were hanging on a cliff.
"...Can you cure her?"
At that mont, Seol Suham asked Cheon Myeong from the side.
"First, I will check her pulse."
Cheon Myeong said that and sat down next to Seol Beakmyo.
*Swish-*
Cheon Myeong, who grabbed Seol Beakmyo's wrist and checked her pulse.
Although not to the extent of Jong Seojun, Cheon Myeong was also able to check the pulse to so extent.
'It's weak...'
The pulse was very slow and weak.
As if the movent of the blood flowing in the blood vessels had frozen.
In fact, an incredible chill was flowing from Seol Beakmyo's body, so much so that it was hard to believe that this was a person's skin.
'It's cold.'
The room where Cheon Myeong was currently was very warm compared to other places.
Compared to the room with the ice statue earlier, this place felt like midsumr.
It seed that they had raised the temperature of the room as much as possible to make Seol Beakmyo's body warm sohow, but seeing the chill felt from her hand, it seed that it had no effect.
'My mother was also in this state.'
In the past, Cheon Myeong had held Seol Suhwa's hand like this whenever he had ti.
In order to sohow make Seol Suhwa's hand, which was as cold as ice, warm with his own warmth.
Although it could be said to be a very childish idea thinking about it now, at that ti, Cheon Myeong could only do that.
However, now it was different.
'This is definitely a symptom of the White Disease.'
It wasn't that he had checked her pulse because he was suspicious of that.
Just as there is an order to everything, wouldn't other people think it strange if he went straight to the treatnt?
So Cheon Myeong was acting like a physician in this way.
'Even in the dical Supplent Manual, there was no record of a cure for the White Disease.'
If so, how did Cheon Myeong know the cure for the White Disease?
The reason was very simple.
Because the White Disease, which was now known as an incurable disease, was not so a hundred years later.
In the era where Cheon Myeong had originally lived, the cure for the White Disease had already been revealed to the world.
'The one who found that cure was, in the end, the Ice Palace.'
Was it because the Ice Palace was the place that had suffered the most from the White Disease? The Ice Palace had finally found a cure for the White Disease.
Of course, that ti was a future that had passed by at least eighty years from now.
In other words, in the original history, the Seol Beakmyo in front of him was fated to die.
'I'm glad I listened to the cure in detail at that ti.'
In fact, it couldn't even be called a cure.
Because the thod to cure the White Disease was surprisingly very simple.
Of course, that could also be conditionally simple, but in his estimation, it would exist in the Ice Palace.
*Swish-*
Cheon Myeong, who had finished checking the pulse and put down Seol Beakmyo's hand.
Seol Suham, who had been watching him with bated breath, carefully asked Cheon Myeong.
"...How is it?"
"..."
Cheon Myeong did not answer Seol Suham's question right away and maintained his silence.
As Cheon Myeong did not say anything in that way, Seol Suham couldn't help but have negative thoughts, and in the end, she couldn't hold back and asked Cheon Myeong again.
"Why is that? Is there a problem?"
"A problem... might have occurred."
Cheon Myeong said with a troubled look.
Hearing those words, Seol Suham's insides couldn't help but burst.
To think that the words that a problem had occurred would co out of the mouth of Cheon Myeong, who had boasted that he could cure the White Disease until just before coming here.
'As expected... a cure is impossible.'
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointnt.
Seol Suham said to Cheon Myeong with a sunken voice.
"...What is the problem?"
"Since the patient's illness is deeper than I thought, it seems that a suitable elixir will be needed to treat it."
"...An elixir?"
"Yes, an elixir with yin energy is needed."
Seol Suham's face showed that she did not understand at all what Cheon Myeong was saying.
Why on earth was an elixir with yin energy needed for the treatnt?
The reason why Seol Beakmyo had collapsed like that was because of the terrible yin energy in her body.
It had beco like that because her body could not ultimately accept all the energy that had grown due to the Ice White Divine Palm.
That was the cause of the onset of the White Disease.
"Don't tell ... you're going to use an elixir with yin energy for the treatnt?"
Seol Suham asked Cheon Myeong, surprised as if it were absurd.
To use an elixir with yin energy on a patient with the White Disease.
If you were to add more yin energy to the patient's body, which was already full of yin energy, with an elixir, anyone would think that the patient would not be able to endure it and would die.
The sa went for Seol Suham.
No matter how much she had trusted Cheon Myeong and had brought him here, she couldn't help but have this reaction.
"It is a necessary process to completely cure the Young Palace Lord's illness."
"..."
"I already expected that you would not be able to accept my treatnt, Palace Lord. Still... please trust ."
Hearing those words from Cheon Myeong, Seol Suham began to struggle greatly internally.
However, seeing the gaze in Cheon Myeong's eyes, which were looking at her, as if she had made a decision, she opened her firmly closed mouth.
"...What do you need?"
Seol Suham asked Cheon Myeong.
Hadn't she decided to trust not the Cheon Myeong of the Demonic Cult, but her nephew, Cheon Myeong, before coming here?
Thinking in that way, Seol Suham was able to make up her mind relatively easily.
"I will support you with whatever the Ice Palace can support."
"...Thank you."
Cheon Myeong, who paused for a mont after saying that.
Soon, hearing the na that ca out of Cheon Myeong's mouth, Seol Suham's two eyes couldn't help but widen.
"The Ice Crystal."
"...!"
"That is what I need."
The Ice Crystal.
Cheon Myeong was now demanding the treasure of the North Sea Ice Palace from Seol Suham.
